Since 1861
A château with history
From a humble hamlet to a family home — the story of Château Lasfargues.
THE ORIGINS
Maison de Maître
Lasfargues started as a humble hamlet — now extinct, leaving behind only a handful of houses and a listed Cultural Heritage inventory: Château Lasfargues, the Maison de Maître. Cadastral records show Louis Barsalou, a master tanner in Agen, owned the estate at the turn of the 19th century. The only trace of the original house remains on a cast drainpipe on the southern façade, embossed "1796" — presumably from Monsieur Barsalou's time.
1861 — 1863
Built to last
The current building rose on the site of the old house in 1861, completed in 1863 for Auguste Barsalou, a merchant in Agen — the date beautifully etched into the tympanum above the grand entrance. The main gate still bears his monogram, "AB," to this day.
TODAY
A family home, open for others to enjoy
Since 2006, the Critchlows have called Château Lasfargues their family home — a private secondary residence that also hosts vacation rentals and celebrations throughout the year, much loved for bringing friends and family together to relax, unwind, and enjoy the French countryside.
All proceeds goes into the maintenance of this special building so that it can be enjoyed by future generations.
